Simplify automatic link analytics

I’d love an optional way to understand when companies engage with the external links I provide during job applications (e.g., portfolio, GitHub, LinkedIn).

Proposed Solution

Enable opt-in link click tracking per application, where Simplify generates per-application redirect URLs and surfaces click activity directly in the application tracker (including timestamps and link type clicked).

Possible Implementations

Either (or both) of the following would be valuable:

1. Application Field Links (ATS URLs)

   • When an ATS asks for URLs (portfolio, GitHub, LinkedIn, etc.), optionally replace them with Simplify-managed redirect links.

   • Each redirect would be tied to a specific user and application, allowing clicks to be attributed cleanly.

2. Resume Hyperlink Tracking

   • Optionally rewrite existing hyperlink targets inside the uploaded resume PDF—without changing visible text or layout—to per-application redirect links.

   • This would be best-effort only, applied when real PDF hyperlinks are detected.

   • The process should be transparent, showing which links would be rewritten before upload.
